Update from San Diego....

Ok everyone...it has been a while since I have updated. The last five days have been the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed. This dog Cass is the most amazing animal and I cannot believe how he is able to help Faith already. I have taken hundreds of pictures but for some reason they keep uploading to the blog sideways. So I am uploading them to my personal facebook page and tonight I will take them all. The training is pretty tough. Faith takes it very seriously and there is a lot to learn in a short amount of time. We both feel that we have to give it everything we have to honor Cass and all his training and Katie and all the people at Little Angels Service Dogs. Cass is a direct representative of that wonderful organization and we do not want to embarrass them. Katie is a special person, as is her husband AJ, and it is evident in how special and comfortable they make Faith. I have never seen her open up and get so comfortable with someone as fast as she did with Katie. And she has a special gift with people and communicating with them. It will take me a few days after this is all done to take it all in and spit it out in words for you. I miss my wife and two other daughters so much but this has been the most amazing trip. For the first time Faith and I have totally clicked. I have never had the opportunity to get this close with her and it has been undescribable to spend this time with her. This dog is going to change her life more than even I thought was possible. I do not want everyone that has been following us to think I have forgotten about the blog, it is quite the opposite. I just do not have the energy or computer access to write everyday. Just follow the pics if you can and I will be home a week early to make sure Faith and Cass transition to Fort Campbell smoothly. At that time I will start typing away about our trip and our new family member. I met numerous other children on our saturday trip to Coronado Island that are trying desperatly to raise money for their dogs. They get to go out once a month and start learning to be a handler, but remember each of these dogs cost $8,000. I am going to need everyone's help still in raising money for Little Angels Service Dogs and these children. This is my mission and goal in life to help other kids like my daughter get a gift of a service dog. Thanks everyone and I hope to hear back from you!!!! Kris
